Mally Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Txt my builder friend mentioned in the grump yesterday. My roof leak is worse, are you coming? He turned up tonight, start date on my new roof is 1st July. He actually offered to come earlier, but can't have scaffolding on the drive when racing's on. May put the bill on the grump thread later.

Fumbler Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Jazz sold in 3 hours, from Autotrader listing to driving the car out of the driveway. Listing price payed too!

davidfowler2000 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 This thing has had problems for about 30 years. Since I claimed ownership 18 months ago, I've been meaning to get it fixed. I eventually had to take it to an Italian man in Edinburgh. Problems fixed AND sounding noticably better. myglaren, brownnova, Tickman and 19 others 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brownnova Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Spent an hour or two going back in time and watching BBC 2s “The car’s the star” Quentin Wilson at his finest! I watched the 2CV, Reliant Robin and this one on the DS, which was my personal favourite as it featured eccentrics such as LJK Setright, and the famous philanderer Alan Clarke and his wife. There’s many more to watch! Tadhg Tiogar, davidfowler2000, Joey spud and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss Anton Rodgers. He looked like just the kind of man who would have a DS. His car seems to be on SORN at the moment, and DVLA thinks it's silver rather than black.

Fumbler Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Quickest car turnaround ever! Mother Fumbler lists Jazz yesterday. Within 20 minutes gets call, 3 hours later car is sold. Finds new Jazz, views it, buys it, will collect it on Friday. It's the first of the new design Jazzes (from 2015-present), and it was built in Japan. In my (not very humble) opinion, it's a heavily computerised gimmicky lump of steel but she likes it and only has to pay peanuts for tax. It is also Hi-vis yellow. Unoffensive and cheerful, but is definitely noticeable! Meanwhile, I've found a Micra that's very local for cheap monies with MOT, 77K on the clock, and was a part exchange. HPI clear and all, will be seeing it tomorrow. Lovely metallic cherry red, therefore zero fade which is a bonus. It's all been quite exciting for all of us these last few days!

Wack Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Just looking at Vans on Ebay There was a time when £75,000 would have bought you some Italian exotica , not any more , a very quiet LDV with no payload I'd guess if it's full of batteries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wuvvum Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 My Maxus cost me less than 1% of that. With the number of miles I do in a van I reckon I'd break even shortly before my 256th birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Martin Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 I went to Scarborough, in Oxfam. North Face boots for £5.99? Really? I'm a 9 and these are a 8.5. But I'm taking them no matter what. Tried them on and they fit. I then spent £7 on cleaner and rewaterproofing spray. ? Hopefully you can see before and after.

Wack Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Boot sale this morning was like a new eastern European country had just joined the EU and they'd been coached in , I've never seen so many there. Every boot had 30 people trying to get in it as soon as it was open, they'd then offer 50% of asking whatever that was One guy picked something up said how much , she said £5 He said, I give you £1 like he was doing her a favour Her reply Fuck off Billy Connolly was right, fuck off is the universal language because he did just that, fucked off like he'd been slapped round the face Aston Martin, dome, RayMK and 8 others 5 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
